	a frontend for fMSX-DOS Emulator
	----------------------------------------
	
	Description
	-----------
	fMSX-DOS Loader is a frontend for this emulator. This
	utility uses a database compatible with MSX ROM Manager
	and can identify and run a large number of ROMS. Also is
	possible set ROM parameters for each ROM and save them and
	fully configure Emulator settings.
	
	Installation
	------------
	Unzip all files on a new folder (ex. C:\FMSX\). You can see
	there are 4 subfolders, SYSTEM, ROMS, UPDATE & UNKNOW. Put all
	your ROMS in the ROMS folder then copy your fMSX-DOS emulator
	files in same folder that you unziped this utility. To run the
	frontend type MSXLOAD on command line or create a Windows shortcurt
	to the MSXLOAD.EXE file.
	
	Configuration
	-------------
        All important settings can be set from de GUI.
        All other emulator options not presents on GUI are configurable 
        editing the SYSTEM\FMSX.INI file.
	Be sure you make a copy of this file before make any chanche.
	
	History
	-------
	- 1.4.BETA.
	Optimitzed "FOX ROM MATCH Engine" routines. Now in 1 step can move unknow ROMS
	& rebuild available ROMS datafile. This fixes bug of after program detects &
	moves a unknow ROM, next time front-end runs do again the available ROM
	detection. Fixed also bug of front-end crash when a moved ROM already exist
	in UNKNOW folder. Fixed also bug of undetection of ROMS smalls of 8192 bytes.
	Now all ROMS small of this size be automaticaly moved to UNKNOW folder. This
	prevents ROMS like CMOS.ROM be detectet like a GAME.
	Added UPDATE DATABASE option. This option is in a early BETA stage, but seem
	to works prefectly and without bugs. Now you can update from UPDATE.DAT file
	or from MSX ROM MANAGER database (MSX.DAT file).

	- 1.3.a. (22/11/2000)
	Fixed little bug on a "aviable" text, now it says "available". Thanks to
	agOny (http://www.aamsx.org/) to report this bug. Now all unknow ROM's are
	now moved to UNKNOW folder, no more renamed ROM's.

	- 1.3. (19/11/2000)
	Fixed bug of bad screen re-draw when you answer NO to the "Realy want
	exit?" question. Fixed also bug that causes AVIABLE ROMS counter don't
	work fine if any *.ROM file not know in database (like msx2.rom) is
	found in ROMS folder. Now, all unknow ROMS are renamed from *.rom to *.ren

	- 1.2.BETA. (29/08/2000)
	Added 2nd SLOT support. Now can use KONAMI GAME MASTER without problems.

        - 1.1.a. (25/08/2000)
        Revised README.TXT file. Fixed bug that cause VGA CHIPSET &
        SOUND CARD autodetection not works. No any mail with comments
        of any kind, bugs or similar. Soo i think people is not using
        my utility. Please, mail me telling what you think or comments

        too :) )

        - 1.1. (24/08/2000)

        a runaway process when you start fMSX-DOS loader without any
        ROM on ROMS folder. Some cosmetics chanches has ben done.

	- 1.0.c. (14/08/2000)
	First final version (no BETA). Now LOAD ROM command remember last
	ROM selected. Now all ROMs from A to F have right parameters on
	database soo can run without troubles. FM-PACK option is turned off,
	because some systems with SBLive! under Windows 98 hang-up
	with FM-PACK emulation turned ON. Fixed some names on database.

	- 1.0.b. BETA (31/07/2000)
	Rewrited all README.TXT file.
	Fixed bug that causes fMSX-DOS Loader crashes when you set ROM
	paramenters and rebuild LOAD.BIN file 2 times in a row.
	Some fMSX-DOS emulator parameters are modified for better
	performance. (FMPAC emulation is set now to OPL2/GENERAL MIDI)

	- 1.0.a. BETA (28/07/2000)
	First version published. Only are aviables LOAD ROM, RUN GAME
